I'm just trying to fully understand exactly what you are saying and the issue you had. That's all.

Your initial post reads as though this is common "Tripods" plural. It isn't ... is what Taz, others and myself are saying.
Thank you for posting the above photo I was able to find your FB post in the group with it. That's my wife's FB account I used btw lol. Nice stabwood mod too.
I agree with Taz that wicking should be checked/redone. The Tripod needs more wick than a KFL19, Prime, K5 or KM3. More wick in the juice wells is better with the Tripod. The Tripod is very forgiving with wicking. If the JFC isn't closed fully before filling you will get flooding/leakage/seepage.
Are you still experiencing that issue? Have you rewicked using more wick in the wells?
Just trying to be helpful. If you need help PM me.
I've honestly haven't experienced any issues with mine. I am the most curious person around and I like to know details in case I ever run across any type of issue. It's a learning thing for me.
From looking through the FB group posts this is rare but easily resolved with a couple steps.
Cheers my friend!
